How solar works

How it works

From the roof to the switchboard

Panels make power. You use it first. Anything left can charge a battery or go to the grid.

01
Capture
Sunlight hits the panels. They turn it into electricity on the roof.
02
Convert
The inverter makes that power ready for lights, heat and pumps.
03
Use first
You use what you make before buying from the grid. That is where the bill drops.
04
Store
Spare power can charge a battery for night, cloudy days or later.
05
Export
What you still do not use can go to the grid and credit your plan.
